[MILESTONE CHECKLIST] Elife Innovation Sprint

[NatalieZelenka]

During the eLife Innovation Sprint, we decided on four goals to kickstart contributions:

• 1 Complete at least two more sections of the template handbook. Currently only the welcome page template is filled in (although there's still more we might want to add Welcome page #9), but we’d like to have content for at least two more sections. These might be sections that we already have placeholder pages for like “our team” ([NEW SECTION] ✨ Our Team #18), or they might be new ideas that the participants come up with e.g. “working on side projects”, “getting the most out of one-to-ones”, or “writing preregistration”. These might also look like resources! If we get more done, that's even better!
  • @jatonline is working on [TEMPLATE SECTION] Our chosen tools #5
  • @lauren-cadwallader is working on
    • [NEW SECTION] ✨ (Open) Research Practices #30
    • [NEW SECTION] ✨ Documentation and data management #33
    • [NEW SECTION] ✨ One-to-Ones #36
  • @NatalieThurlby is working on [NEW SECTION, RESOURCE] ✨ Time management/prioritisation #31
  • @ekuw is working on [NEW SECTION] ✨ Our Team #18
• 2 Create an example handbook using the template repository. This will help us to show potential users what the end goal is of the handbook, e.g. “The Jean Golding Institute’s Data Scientist’s handbook”. It will also help us to do our next aim…
• 3 Improve instructions for using the template repository. We have some instructions, but they are missing some information and need testing to ensure they are easy to use.
  • @NatalieThurlby is working on Add instructions for how GH basics should be in instanced handbooks #17
• 4 Improve contribution guidelines for future contributors. For example, we would like to be able to collect good ideas for resources for the handbook from people who’ve never used GitHub before, but that have a great resource that they use with their group.
  • @jatonline is working on Create consistent our-handbook style + instructions for contributors #28

Please note:

• Other kinds of contributions are also very welcome!
• If you want to work on book sections, too, please do! 2 was just my minimum aim

The sprint's now over. We did a good job with our aims. Only testing out the handbook ourselves left to go!
